Maya Hawke, the daughter of Hollywood icons Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, said "I do" in an intimate Valentine's Day wedding that has left fans swooning.

The 27-year-old "Stranger Things" actress tied the knot with singer-songwriter Christian Lee Hutson this past weekend in a romantic ceremony at St. George's Episcopal Church in New York City.

And yes, it was every bit as elegant and understated as you'd imagine from the daughter of two cinematic legends. Reports say proud dad Ethan was by her side as he walked her down the aisle, while mum Uma looked on.

Maya looked breathtaking in a striking white wedding gown with bold, architectural flair. The sculptural silhouette featured a dramatic full skirt with exaggerated folds and a structured bodice that perfectly framed her petite figure. She added a feather-trimmed white jacket — a nod to Old Hollywood glamour — giving the look a luxurious, vintage finish.

Minimal accessories and pointed white heels let the clean lines and craftsmanship of the gown shine. With her hair pulled back in a neat updo, Maya embodied the very definition of modern romance — poised, polished, and glowing.

Beside her, Christian was the picture of timeless sophistication in a classic black tuxedo. His black dinner jacket with satin lapels, crisp white dress shirt, and bow tie struck a perfectly tailored balance between tradition and cool-boy charm. A simple boutonnière added a subtle pop of greenery to the otherwise monochrome palette.

The sweet ceremony was followed by a walk through the streets of Manhattan, with newlyweds and guests braving the brisk winter air. That didn't stop Maya from flashing a smile — even as fans watching the video questioned whether she was freezing in her feather-trimmed ensemble.

"She must've been freezing," one viewer remarked under the now-viral clip of the couple strolling post-ceremony, surrounded by friends and family.

But it wasn't just the cold that had the internet talking.

"Ahhh she looks like the Bride 👰🏽 when UMA played in Kill Bill 2!" one fan excitedly wrote, posting a GIF from the iconic film. "What a beautiful dress... I love the simplicity of it.. she looks absolutely amazing!" another gushed.

Others praised the ceremony's grace and warmth in comparison to recent headline-grabbing weddings. "Beautiful bride 🙂 I like her acting too. Compared to all the rude weddings lately... excluding people... rude etiquettes... hers is a breath of fresh kind air 🙂," a viewer said.

But there was snark too — and some couldn't help but take aim at Maya's father."Lovely. But, why is Ethan Hawke looking like a priest?" one fan teased.

Another took a low blow, writing, "How is it possible that the daughter looks older than her mother?"

And then came the questions: "Where's Uma?" one netizen wondered. "Where is her mom?" another questioned.

Despite not appearing in the viral clip of the couple leaving the church, Uma was at the wedding — and was even photographed smiling beside her daughter before the ceremony began.

Born during her parents' high-profile marriage, Maya is the eldest child of Ethan and Uma, who wed in 1998 and split in 2005. They also share a son, Levon, Maya's younger brother.

Though the couple did their best to keep their children out of the spotlight during their early years, Maya has grown up to carve her own path — as an actress, singer, and now, a visionary bride.
